It's back to the future for Essendon in round 21 against the Saints with a pre-colour TV sash and collars. Couldn't find any news articles on this but I did see Heppell modelling this on 7 news. It's also in honor of Essendon's half forward of the century, Ken Fraser

Hmm, testing the waters I wonder?

Surely we're due for a rebrand by now, I've only been waiting for it since 09... plus our sash is almost identical to Richmond's this season (Tigers a bit thicker, according to fj.com) - maybe theyll change it up so not to be seen as the AFL's 'other sash team'

Probably a pipe dream, but would be cool.

My question is why didn't they come up with this collar design last year when we had our 125th jumper?! Would've been easily my favourite Pies jumper... besides the Swooper.

Can it still be considered a sash if it's broken? I mean, gotta adhere to the constitution, right?
Can it still be considered a sash if it has "Fujitsu" defacing it? Or the Kia logo over it wide enough you can't see the sides? :p
 
Wonder if we'll see some clubs permanently running with a collar again, a bit like in the EPL how some have some dont etc

I would be happy if the cats permanently used the one we used in our retro game this year.
 
It actually looks like... a wool effect?

Good spot Gibbsy, definitely looks like what they were going for. I'll need to see them in action before I can tell whether I like it or not
 
I love the idea but honestly Cotton On's retro collar is 10x better than ISC's. ISC look to have just added a little flappy bit to a modern collar. At least Cotton On did a proper redesign of the collar to make it look the part.
this!

I think the ISC version of this looks pretty shoddy, don't think the collar suits the wide open neck of the ISC guernseys
